Well, I actually got it from Hans' dad who is retiring.
As it turns out though, he had two, and he's willing to part with the other one as well. I was going to steal one of the legs for my bench (they both original had center supports, as well as the ends) but it's going to end up in the dumpster eventually.
There is a catch though, the benches have an all-metal support structure (only the top is wood) so they weigh something like 450 lbs, and are about 4x10 feet. I'm still sore from moving the one, I'm not too excited about moving another one anything soon.
My father-in-law had a fairly good solution for his bench, though, that you might be interested in. Buy one sheet of 1/2 or 3/4-inch plywood, and buy 3 extensible sawhorse-style legs. It's worked out great for him, but he doesn't regularly form steel or rivet. Unless you're going to take up armorsmithing, you could probably "make-do" with something like that.
